Whether you use your bike for transportation or exercise,vou'll enjoy these fun facts on this vehicle.

   In 1817,Karl von Drais,a German baron (大老板) ，invented a horseless carriage that would help him get around faster. The two-wheeled machine could move by pushing your feet against the ground. The machine led to the creation of the modern-day bicycle.

   Fred A. Birchmore,25, circled the globe by bicycle in 1935. The entire trip,through Europe,Asia,and the United States,covered forty thousand miles. He pedaled (騎車) about 25,000 miles. The rest was traveled by boat.

   There are over a half billion bicycles in China. Bikes were first brought to China in the late 1800s. About 100 million bicycles are made worldwide each year. Over the past 30 years,bicycle delivery (投遞) services have developed into an important industry,especially in cities,where the couriers (服務(wù)員) are well known for their high speed and riding skills.

   Americans use their bicycles for less than one percent of all urban trips. Europeans bike in cities a lot more often—in Italy 5 percent of all trips are on bicycle,30 percent in the Netherlands,and seven out of eight Dutch people over age 15 have a bike.

   The Tour de France (環(huán)法自行車賽) is one of the most famous bicycle races in the world. Established in 1903,it is considered to be the biggest test of endurance out of all sports.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子的正(T) 誤(F)。

() 1. In 1817,Karl von Drais invented a carriage the same as the modern-day bicycle.

() 2. Fred A. Birchmore finished his entire trip around the globe by bicycle.

() 3. There were no bikes in China before the late 1800s.

() 4. In cities bicycle delivery services are very good.

() 5. The Tour de France became the biggest bicycle race in the world in 1903.

自行車是一種綠色環(huán)保的交通工具，空氣污染日益嚴(yán)重 的今天，越來(lái)越多的人選擇騎自行車出行。本文主要介紹的 是自行車的發(fā)展史。

1. F 由第二段的 “In 1817.Karl von Drais... invented a horseless carriage. . . The two-wheeled machine could move by pushing your feet against the ground. ” 可知， 1817年的Karl von Drais發(fā)明的不用馬拉的車，騎車人 需用雙腳用力蹬地前行，由此可知與現(xiàn)在的自行車還 是不一樣的。

2. F 由第三段的“He pedaled about   25.000 miles. The rest was traveled by boat. ” 可知，他騎了大約 25.000 英里， 剩下的路程是乘船完成的，由此可知本句與原文內(nèi)容 不符。

3. T 第四段第二句提到了“Bikes were first brought to China in the late 1800s. ”，由此可知自行車在19世紀(jì)后期才第一次被引進(jìn)中國(guó)，由此可知在這之前中國(guó)沒(méi)有自 行車。

4. T由第四段最后一句可知，在城市自行車投遞服務(wù)很好。

5. F通讀最后一段可知，環(huán)法自行車賽創(chuàng)辦于1903年，但并不是在1903年成為世界最大的自行車比賽，故該表述錯(cuò)誤。

transportation n.交通 establish v.設(shè)立 consider v.考慮 endurance n.忍耐力

障礙句分析

   Over the past 30 years,bicycle delivery services have developed into an important industry,especially in cities,where the couriers are well known for their high speed and riding skills.在過(guò)去的30年里，自行車投遞服務(wù)已經(jīng)發(fā)展成 為一個(gè)重要的行業(yè)，尤其是在城市，那里的服務(wù)員因他們的 高速和車技而聞名。

 句中的where引導(dǎo)的是定語(yǔ)從句，用來(lái)修飾cities; be well known for意為“因……而出名”。
